Our Process

From Inception to Installation

A collaborative, white-glove process designed to bring your vision to life—down to the last detail.

Designed the Way Designers Actually Work

Every NIBA rug begins the same way your projects do—with a vision. Whether you’re working from a fully developed concept or a single point of inspiration, we collaborate with you to translate your ideas into a custom piece that fits the space perfectly—in scale, color, and material.

The Custom Rug Journey

01

Discovery & Direction

Understanding Your World

We begin by understanding your project—your space, your palette, your client. Whether starting from a concept, reference, or idea, we help refine direction and identify what’s possible.

 

02

Design & Artwork

See It Before It Exists

Every custom rug begins with artwork. Our team creates detailed renderings so you can see your rug before it’s made—capturing scale, proportion, and tone with precision.

 

03

Color & Material

Every Detail, Refined

With access to thousands of colors and materials, we refine every detail. From custom color matching to curated selections, your rug integrates seamlessly into the full design.

 

04

Value Engineering

Design Without Compromise

We align design and budget without sacrificing integrity. Through expert guidance, we explore options that preserve the visual impact of your design.

 

05

Sampling & Refinement

Unlock the Experience

Before production, we develop samples for real-world evaluation. This ensures every decision—texture, tone, and construction—is intentional.

 

06

Production & Installation

Crafted by Master Artisans

Once approved, your rug is brought to life by master artisans. Each piece is handcrafted to exact specifications and installed with precision.

 

07

Completion & Legacy

Designed to Endure

The final result is more than a finished rug. It becomes part of the architecture of the room-bringing together furniture, art, and atmosphere to create a space that feels complete. We are grateful for the designers and architects who trust us to bring their visions to life. We invite you to view this one of a kind project HERE.

20 years in New England called for a proper Boston celebration! 🥂

Two decades of projects, partnerships, problem-solving and friendships with the New England design community and this week, Beth and Sheralyn had the chance to celebrate it all with a beautiful evening at Raffles Boston.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the designers, architects and industry friends who have trusted NIBA with their projects over the years. Those relationships are at the heart of how we work.

NIBA has always taken a more personal, consultative approach to rugs. We intentionally work with fewer clients so we can be more involved — helping navigate everything from fiber and construction to color, scale, customization, installation and all the details in between.

Think of Beth and the NIBA team as an extension of your studio. Bring us the room, the challenge or even just the beginning of an idea, and let us take the rug portion off your plate.

Boston, thank you for an incredible week — and for 20+ years of designing together.

The rugs are out, the doors are open, and Boston has been showing up. ✨

What a week it’s been at the NIBA Boston Pop-Up. Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our private event—and to all of the designers and friends who have already stopped in, brought their teams, talked rugs, and spent some time with us.

And we’re still here! Come see us today and tomorrow to explore the collections, talk design, and experience NIBA in person.

Boston, come say hi before we pack it all up.
